Michelle Malkin from the homepage on Secretary Salazar and his drilling moratorium:

For all his John Wayne rhetoric on the BP oil spill, President Obama has failed to administer a swift kick to the ample, deserving rump of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. No matter: Federal judge Martin Feldman has now done the job the White House won’t do.
In a scathing ruling issued Tuesday afternoon, New Orleans–based Feldman overturned the administration’s radical six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling — and he singled out Salazar’s central role in jury-rigging a federal panel’s scientific report to bolster flagrantly politicized conclusions. In a sane world, Salazar’s head would roll. In Obama’s world, he gets immunity.
The suit challenging Obama’s desperately political ban was filed by Louisiana rig company Hornbeck Offshore Services, which sued on behalf of all the “small people” in the industry whose economic survival is at stake. As the plaintiffs’ lawyer argued in court, the overbroad ban promised to be more devastating to Gulf workers than the spill itself. “This is an unprecedented industry-wide shutdown. Never before has the government done this,” attorney Carl Rosenblum said.

The rest here.

As for Salazar, he’s not done:

The interior secretary goes to Capitol Hill a day after a federal judge struck down the administration’s moratorium on deepwater drilling.
In blocking the moratorium, federal Judge Martin Feldman said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s rationale for the moratorium doesn’t factor into the safety records of those others in the Gulf. Salazar has already promised to issue another moratorium better locking in the reasoning for the drilling pause. He’ll appear before a Senate panel today.
Moratorium opponents like Sen. Lisa Murkowski says continued drilling would be a boost to jobs in the region, giving good paying jobs to the people who work out on the rigs in the Gulf.
The administration also plans to appeal the ruling saying that a second deepwater blowout could overwhelm the efforts to respond to the current disaster.
